TECHNICALS: The GBP/USD pair failed to break above the 1.28 resistance and started to print a massive bearish candle on the daily chart.
The 1-hour chart is even more interesting, as it shows a break below a well-defined rising channel and a pullback to that level, which has been rejected immediately.
My traders and I are short on the pair since this morning.
INTEREST RATES: 2y yield differentials have been showing a strong divergence for quite some time, supporting our bearish view at the moment.
RISK SENTIMENT: Since the pound was nicely following risk-on flows in the recent period, today's risk-off flows (with major stock indices down and VIX up) could accelerate a sell-off in the GBP and increase demand for the USD, support a bearish stance.
POSITIONING: Finally, the latest futures positioning data showed a massive increase in GBP bearish bets and an overall bearish bias on the currency.
